Everybody drive dangerously tonight.
Remember to swerve into oncoming lanes and then back into your own lane shortly before that head on collision. Oh, and don't forget to turn off your headlights, start tailgating somebody, then turn on your highbeams. If we work together, we can make this a truly frightful spooOOOooky halloween!

1. I do hope this a joke.
Three people were killed by cars in my community one year ago today. Most people will be spending time at candle light vigils tonight. Sorry but your post hit me real hard! :cry:

2. I'm sure it was meant to ne sarcastic.
I am also VERY sensitive about car accidents and driving threads. I took this to be a slam against careless drivers.

Sorry to hear about what happened.

3. Thank you.
I think it just hit me kinda hard! Brought back memories of three kids that are now gone. All three were killed by people driving like idiots. :grouphug:
Sorry to the OP if I offended him, or her.

4. I know how you feel.
I lost a baby and was disabled in a car accident 3 years ago. It's hard to see when something is not meant literally when you have had an experience like that.
